Deleafing of Traminette Prior to Harvest 2009

Fall at the Farm

The leaves are dropping in waves and in this photo, the sycamores planted by Fred Johnson, Sr., have done just that. Harvest, running late this year, wasn't complete until early November as we wanted to give the grapes as much time as possible to ripen. Here's a photo of the new Traminette vineyard after deleafing to expose the fruit to as much sunlight as possible.
